FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE LETTED FBOJI FABIS. IC’orrespondonce of tlie Philadelphia Evening Bnlletln.l Paris, Tuesday, Nov. 2, in fluences of tlic cold weather, of the softly-tall ing snow-flakes and the premature winter, seem to have produced a soothing eiioct on onr population, and all symptoms of the recent slight effervescence have entirely disappeared Kor does there appear to be any likelihood of our present interval of tranquillity, being dis turbed. There is, apparently, to be no convo cation of the Chambers before the 29th inst.; and as the Paris election for filling up the four vacancies occasioned by the option of Messrs. Bancel, Jules Simon, Gambctta iiihd Picard, to sit for the Provinces instead of tho capital, are not to take place until the 2lst and 22d, we have a prospect, of three weeks interregnum between us and the re commencement of political excitement. Our legislators seem to take it for granted that such will be the case; for M. Schneider, who is still the President by courtesy, if not exactly de jure, of the Corps Legislatif—has gone off to his great mining establishments at Crcu/.ot: while the majority of the depu ties, who had been drawing towards Paris in uncertainty as to whether their presence might be necessary there, have once more returned to their constituents in the Departments. As to the Emperor, he has again withdrawn himself to his bachelor’s retreat at Conipiegne, where lie spends his time cn ffarcon among his cro nies, during his wife’s absence. In the morn- ings his Majesty does a little dilettanti legis lation with ' his “cabinet,” concocting pro jets dc loi of a very harmless description; such, for instance, as that by which he prohibits himself from choosing his Mayors except front among the members of the Municipal Courais—a privilege, however, which he has long since been compelled virtu ally to abandon by the force of public opinion, but which he now professes to make a fresh boon of, -second-hand, as a .part fulfil ment of his promises of constitutional reforms. In the atternoon, when the sun and the weather permit, his Majesty goes out shooting, just like Louis XVX or Charles X. before 1789 and 1830 re spectively, and seemingly with the same feeling of security in the future. Ho has also just nominated a certain Count Costa dc .Beauregard, son of Mrs. Howard and an personage,” to. the important function .of “Lieutenant of" the Imperial sporting parties,” of which it is to be hoped he will fulfil the ar duous duties to the entire satisfaction of the “nation” at huge. His Majesty is evidently determined to take things easily, and enjoy himself—while toucan. By common consent, the struggle, if there is to he one, is adjourned for the present; and the contending parties have mutually agreed tuaccept the 29th as the Philippi on which their strength is to be tried and theif differences decided. The premature rigors of tbe season appear to have extended very far to the south. Snow has fallen in large quantities at Montpellier and other points of the Department of the Herault, and at Lyons three degrees below zero of cold have been experienced, while the surrounding hills are covered witl) snow. Italy seems to have been equally “ favored,” and there has been a fall of snowcat Florence and elsewhere. Letters which I receive from Borne speak of the influx of strangers in that capital as be ing very large,and the gathering of Americans there as being among the largest. The prices \ demanded for accommodations by the lodging- I house keepers arc enormous, and every day they are rising in their exactions. A large body of American Roman Catholic Bishops have recently passed through Paris on the way for the Eternal City, some having arrived from Brest, some from Havre, by the French and German Transatlantic Naviga tion Companies. Bishop Guignes, who came from Canada and disembarked at Havre, stopped at Kouen on his way to Paris,celebra ted in ass at the tine old cathedral ot the cap ital of Normandy. The exodus in the direction of Borne and Suez becomes larger every day, espe cially towards tho latter place, whither great numbers are flocking, scared by the tokens of an early and severe winter. There have been ugly rumors afloat, however, respecting tho condition of M. de Les seps’ great undertaking and the probabilities of a postponement of the inauguration cere mony at the eleventh hour. I am not, of course, in a position here to test the veracity of these reports. But there is no doubt that a telegram has arrived from her Majesty,stating that doubts have been expressed as to the pos sibility of so large a steamer as tho Algle ef fecting the passage froin sea to sea Her Cap ■ tain is said to have declared the feat to be ini' possible in the present condition of the chan nel ; and most persons seem to think that the proposed passage of so great a number of ves sels at once, cv<i the 17th inst., will create such a disturbance of • tho banks, which can scarcely yet he . consolidated, as • to have little chance for any hut the lead ing vessels to get through safely anil without i mpediment. These considerations have occa sioned a fresh fall in the shares ot the’ com pany, which were once more quoted, toward the end of last week, as low as. 400 francs. The telegraph offices in Franco (which are in the hands of government) have just been authorized to transmit money orders, like the post-offices. The amount so to bo transmitted is limited to 0,000 francs; hut it is expected that tho increased rapidity will occasion a great , deal of business in this lino' to be done by these offices., Tho chief leaders of the public meetings in Paris which have rendered themselves con spicuous by the violence of language used at them and the socialist principles whioh have there boon given utterance to, have just been condemned by the Sixth Chamber-of the ’ Correctional Police for tiie proceedings which oc3o-lmrp§ PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16,1869. took place at the FoHos-BeliovHlo—a favorite place of assemblage in the suburbs of Tails. The meeting there refused to disperse -when summoned to do so by the police, and resisted the latter when they drew their swords and -proceeded to enforce obedience. After a trial of four days and the examination of innumerable witnesses,the Court M. Lissagaray, of the Itapjinl newspaper, with three, others, to a tine 0f500f., and condemned M. Noiret, the man who personated” asjorpse and was carried about as such on a stretcher to inflame tho minds of the people, to three months’ imprisonment. ’ Tho statistics of Paris tell us that there are nearly 3,000 cates in this city,besides about 100 cafes cliantanlK, where music is provided as well as refreshments. These establishments give employment to about 10,000 waiters and servants, and the business done stt them is about 123 millions yearly. At a first-rate enie the proprietors reckon upon realizing a handsome independence in ten years. The profit upon a demie tusxe of coflee, at forty centimes, or eight cents, cannot be less than 300 per cent.,and that upon wines-and Iviueurs, especially cognac, is still greater. The waiters are entirely paid by the gratuities of customers, estimated at five 'millions yearly. The head waiter receives these, providing all the rest of the establishment at his own expense, and reaping a handsome .surplus. 1 was. am used the other day by seeing an advertisement in (Jali'jnaui which is evidently aimed at Americans and other foreign arri vals, and which announces that Mile. Zilia Michelet gives lessons in “calisthenics” and “elegance of deportment,” and “prepares youiig ladies for court.” I wonder what the latter “preparation” consists in, and whether it is “moral” or “physical.” Surely, no one "who has once witnessed the five mi flutes’ hustle which constitutes a presentation at the Tuilcries, can ever imagine that much “pre paration” is required for that! 1109 ' THE ST. DOMINGO SCHEME. A Cabinet Minister’s Densons for Not Favoring the Annexation of Cuba and St. Domingo. Washington, Nov. 14,-1889.— X heard .a Cabinet Minister remark the other day that “Cuba would not be a desirable acquisition for the United States.” Said the Cabinet Minis ter : “In the first place,-it would destroy our revenue derived from that island. "We now obtain from her some fifty or sixty millions of revenue. That woidd be all lost to us by acqui sition. In the second place, 1 don’t -think mingling with the Latin race, and particularly the Spaniards, would be beneficial. Just look :it the history of the South American Republics and of Mexico. Has it not been a series of revolutions, which prove tlieir inability for. self-government ? 1 ask you honestly if that is not a fact now? I would like to see Cuba independent, but, after all, I am not satisfied it would be better lor the Cubans to succeed. They never’ could govern ■ themselves; and, were they to become annexed to the Union, I think it would he no advantage. What,for in stance, would we do with their negroes ? They are not of the same kind as ours. They don t speak our language, and a great portion of them are pure Africans. Our negroes have, to some extent, received the impress of t-lie American character. They are advanced in civilization, compared with those in Cuba. If we were suddenly to be come possessed of Cuba I don’t- know Uow we should get along with such an element. We would have to revive the Freedman's Bureau, and I don t think that our people would relish that. We would find them a difficult class to manage in an enfranchized state; and as to keeping them in a state of bondage, ot course that is out of the question. Now, if we could get Cuba on a sort of probation, it would be well enough ; that is, if we could exercise a sort of healthy protectorate over it and keep it so for ten or twenty years, until the African element might become civilized, or until An glo-Saxon settlers might neutralize the per nicious influence of the Spaniards and, Afri cans; then we might safely say: ‘Welcome, welcome, to our free Union;!’ But, until then, I think we are better as we are.” The minister likewise alluded to St. Do mingo in tho same way, saying that we would have to encounter the same difficulties by its annexation, though not, perhaps, to such an alarming degree. He thought, too, that the possession of St. Domingo would require to keep up a powerful navy for its protection in case of foreign war, and that both Cuba and bit. Domingo. in such an event, would be the first objects of hostile attacks. “We should have to send off there a large fleet,” said the Minister, “which might be better employed in protecting our own extended sea coast.” Such aro tne views of this member of the Cabinet, and I have tho best reason to know that they are shared by at least two other members. — Iltrald. THE GREAT COIMIE. European Opinions of It. The London Telegraph observes that the famous Council of 'Trent threw the whole of Christendom into a lever of excitement. In our tlay everything is altered. Protestant Europe'looks forward to the coining (Ecu menical Council with great curiosity—and that is all. At that time the. Pope was the supreme director of Catholic consciences ; now it is the King. Four centuries ago Borne could dictate to Paris ; now it is Paris 1 which dictates to Rome. The London Timee, writing on' the same subject,says: ‘ tVliat if the Pope should cease to be an Italian prince'?—should cease to be a prince at all? \Ve cannot doubt that such is the drift of the Emperor Napoleon's policy—the policy ho has been quietly but steadily pursuing since he freed the Legations, the Marshes, and Umbria from Papal domination. By pro posing a modification of the .Sacred Col lege, which should deprive it of ihT Italian character, the Emperor clearly hinted that the Papacy should cease to be an Italian sovereignty. If, as the Emperor Na poleon thinks, there are too many Italian cardinals, there aTe also too many Italian bishops—too many lor the well-being and ad vancement of the Italian kingdom, but too many also for the liberty and even for the dignitv of the Universal Church. It was .by clinging too loudly to the things of the earth that the Papacy became tlic monopoly of one people, and that by no means the most earnest, pious or even moral people. Tlio bane of Catholicism has been its Eomanization. The moderate .party in Hungary, which lias for its chief M. I)eak, has taken the initiative in a protest-against-the doctrines of tho Syl labus. Tt-s signatures of the adherents will be collected before the opening of tho (Ecu menical Council. The present appeal, pub lished by M. I)eak,says: “Hungarians of all parties are opposed to uttramontanism.” 'lTice In tbe United State*, Tho losses by fire in the United States daring the mouths of September and October, calcu lating only those ot' $20,000,, and upwards, amounted to $1,257,000 more in the aggregate, than the losses ot' tne corresponding months of last year.

A NEW EUROPEAN ALLIANCE. Proposition of Russia to France — New Offensive and Defensive Alli- ance Between France, Austria and Russia—-The Conditions. |Ur the Atlantic Cable.l . ' St. I’ETKiism-no, Nov. 12.—A. project for a tTeaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, be tween France, Austria and Kussia, lias been submitted by Prince Gortscbakoff to Fleury, tlio French M inister, and sent by the latter to Napoleon. The duration of tho alliance is to lie three years, and it is to he renewable upon six months’notice. Eaohparty. is to keep a certain standing army.-*r Timex. • The New Fork Times, commenting on tho above, says: - . * The announcement which we publish this morning, from our own correspondent at St. Petersburg, foreshadows a new and startling complication in European politics. The state ment is that a proposal has been submitted by Prince Gortschakoff to tiro French Minister for an Alliance, offensive and defensive, be tween Russia, .Franco and Austria. Tho al liance is to exist for three years; it binds each party to maintain a standing army, and tlio treaty is renewable upon six months’ notice. It is true that this plan is only as yet pro posed by one Power to another, but Prince Gortscbakofl' is too cautious and experienced a diplomatist to venture publicly on a move of great importance unless he had ascertained beforehand the reception it was likely to meet with. The suggestion, we may be very confident, will not take the Emperor Napo leon by snrpriso. It may bo one of the direct results' of the meeting between the Czar and . the Emperor some time ago—agreed upon at the time, hut delayed by motives of policy. Tbe Russian Government would never have invited the attention of the world to a project which had not been privately discussed be tween the Powers principally concerned in it. The new alliance would almost certainly bo the harbinger of new troubles in Enrope. Two out of tlie three Powers thus leagued together have been with difficulty ■ restrained from springing at the throat of Pntssia. Austria has great losses and terrible defeats to avenge, and France has wounded pride to appease,and the long desired rectification of frontiers to accomplish. If Russia can be induced to connive at these designs, neither Franco nor Austria would begrudge the Muscovite the gratification of striking a deadly blow at Turkey It is easy enough, then, to estimate what each party to the Alliance has to gain by a scheme which is a serious ■ menace to the peace of Europe. France might recover her old place in the world, anil hum ble the pride of Prussia Austria might at least partly repair the ravages . which tho needle-gun inflicted upon her, and wipe out the hitter memories of Sadowa. And Russia might hope to drive out the Crescent from Constantinople, even if she did not push her Central-Asian outposts still further toward British India. , . . We are onlv discussing probabilities, and it may happen that the rumored alliance will never come into existence. Our cor respondent a: St. Petersburg, from whom the news comes, has access to special sources of information, and ht) is not likely to have been misled in a matter of so much conse quence. But the attitude of England may induce Napoleon to pause before entering into a league which undoubtedly could bode no good for anv but the contracting Powers. We need not recount the obligations which Napoleon owes to England. Great Britain recognized him first, and her countenance and support have enabled him to pass safely through many critical stages of nis career. Hitherto he has clung closely to his alliance with England; and certainly has not shown himself ungrateful for it. But tbe new alliance would indicate a change in his feelings and policy. The event would render the close of this year memorable, for in all probability it would prove the letting out of the waters of strife, and no man could tell how far the flood might extend. Cardinal Cnllen’s Eaxtoral—Tlse Conn ell, tbe Fenians and Busyfoodtes. As already reported by cable telegram in the Herald, his Eminence Cardinal Paul Gui lin, Archbishop of Dublin, has announced a ‘•jubilee” in a pastoral addressedto the clergy oi' his diocese. This jubilee begins with tne Ist of S ovember, and is to last until the ter mination of the (Ecumenical Council, con voked by the Pope for the Htli of December. The condition of the ‘ ‘indulgences” are that the faithful shall make confession,receive the sac rament and fast three days, or one day in each of three weeks. They must likewlso visit three of the principal chapels of Dublin, which are named,and pray for the peace, tranquillity and triumph of the Holy Catholic Church. “ The indulgences of the jubilee are applicable to the souls in purgatory." The principal object of the Pontiff, the Cardinal says, is to “ induce the faithful to contribute by their prayers and good works to the success of the (Ecumenical Council.” The Protestant press and its cor respondents, his Eminence adds, in stating that the Council is to assemble to condemn “ tfue liberty and progress” are proclaiming merely “fond inventions.” The faithful are not to pay any attention to these “hostile writers and busybodies, pretending to know ' that ot which they are completely ignorant.” He begs of Catholics to exliortthose who are members of such so cieties as “the Fenian” to abandon them. “See what evils have inundated Spain and Italv since secret societies have got the mas tery in them.” Fenians and “members of many other secret and unlawful organiza tions |incur the penalty ot excommunication, and are cut off' like rotten branches from the mystic vine, and cannot participate in the hlessihg of the jubilee.” The Cardinal also exhorts the neopie to shun drunkenness, fac tion tights,* “public assaults and scandalous immoralities.” He refers to “the dreadful crime of murder.” This crime (lie says) is held in abomination everywhere, and it was never congenial ,to the Irish heart. “1 only refer to it,” adds the Cardinal, “in order to beg of you to maintain among your Hocks the greatest horror of what is so hateful to God, lest by hearing or reading of the wicked deeds Of others they, should look witli -indif ference on one of the greatest and most horri ble of crimes.” His Eminence says agaiu: “ I shall merely beg of you to call upon your flocks to pray for our Protestant brethren who are now engaged in reconstructing their Church or forming a new church body, and to ask of the Author of light that Ho may enlighten them, give them knowledge of the truth, and lead them ■ into - the bosom of the one holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. It is happy for.us that no such ditli cult task devolves on us as our , separated brethren/have undertaken to perform. The Catholic Church is-the work of God, not ot man; it docs not owe its origin to acts ot Parliaments, or to mixed meetings of clergy and laity. It was-founded ,by Christ on His apostles * * * * and He, moreover, gavC jurisdiction to the same Vicar-.(the Pontiff) to assemhlo, when necessary or useful, all bis colleagues in this Episcopate to consult with them'on the great interests of religion. —Raspail, the ted .republican of Paris, has been in prison ten years and in exile inteen, has been shot through ’ the neck in a duel, in vented a mioroacojpe; and done and suffered many other wonderlul tilings. —George Peabody is the .firstphilanthropist who has been honored with a nioho in Westw minster Abbey,'tlfis; distinction having even been withheld front John Howard, though a marble statue 6f hiia was orectcd m fet. 1 apl s Cathedral.'

It will be lair to judge this performance from a standpoint somewhat lower than that from which we would regard the more pretentious efforts of more eimuont artists. Mr. Gratt calls liis company a “Grand German Opera Company,” to he sure, but lie understands perfectly well that pooplo who glance at his list of singers will not expect en tertainments of the most exalted- character, and he lias graduated his scale of prices ac cordingly. What ho aims at is respectable mediocrity. Ho will give clover performances by clever artists, some of whom are excellent, lie has no great prima donna and no superla tively great tenor; but, at- the same time, he - has no singer of any kind that is abominably poor. Madame Frederici bas a good soprano voice,which is a little rough hereund there, but which is never unpleasant; and she has a eomeJy face and a most agreeable manner, which win for her the kindly sympathy of her 'audiences. She sang the part of “Agatha” very nicely last evening, and although her performance was not at any timo remarkable, occasionally she deserved and received ap plause. Madame Rotter was oven more satisfactory. She has a, sweet voice and a great deal of vivacity and spirit. She sang the pretty song in the second act gracefully and well. Mr. Babehnann acquitted himself handsomely. The audience were asked to pardon his deficiencies, because of his hoarseness, but if he suffered ~ from such a complaint, the effect was not perceptible. His performance was about tho most satisfactory of tbe evening. Mr. Wein lich played and sang the part ot “Caspar” in an unexceptionable maimer. Ho has a very fine voice, and he is a good actor. Perhaps severe justice might demand harsher criti cism oi' some portion of tho performance of these singers, but we are inclined to bo some what liberal, for several reasons: first, great superiority is not claimed for them; second, this was tne opening night, and the singers were not accustomed to each other, or as sured of the sympathy of the audience; third, the orchestra was shockingly bad, The orchestration of this opera is about the most delightful portion of it, but wo are sorry to say that itwasgiveninavery wretched man ner. ‘Mr. Carl Anschutz, the leader, evidently entertained such an opinion of it himself, for he indulged audibly in continual criticisms of a very forcible character. The chorus, also, was. very small and very poor. We hope Mr. Grau will remedy the defects in these two important particulars. Plenty of good singers anil instrumental musicians can bo procured m this city. This evening Martha will lie given with a east including Frederici, Rotter, and Messrs. Himmer and Formes. Ml!., forkkst’s “li:ak.” Mr. Edwin Forrest began an engagemontat the Walnut Street Theatre, last night, with Kinq Lear. Without excepting oven his “Richelieu,” which is a wonderful imper sonation, we regard Mr. Forrest’s “Hear” as his grandest performance-. The actor has a certain physical fitness for this character, which gives him at all times an advantage over other men who attempt it. While “Lear’s” malady is of tho mind, it finds expression in violent bodily action, and whore great power of this kind is required, together with keen intelligence, Mr. Forrest can, surpass any of of his competitors. Costumed for tho part ho has a kingly presence, and to tho dignity of his person he adds a magnificent voice, which is full oi modulations for the varying sentiments of the character, and which, controlled by a master of the elocutionary art, expresses every shade of meaning in the text with apt and wonderful skill. Fidelity to nature is not re quired in this personation; nature is not: familiar with the crime which overwhelms Dear’s soul with madness. But intensity and awful force seem to bq the inevitable results of the suffering endured by him, and even when his violence is fiercest we feel that the actor is giving a just interpretation of the char acter. The cuTse—next to that uttered by the inspired Psalmist, the most awfulin the whole rango of literature—is made by Mr. Forrest the very climax of Lear’s reasonable passion ; alter that he lapses into the helpless rage, and the imbecile ealmness of insanity. It was delivered, last night, not with ferocity, but with an impressive solemnitv, which rather gained in strength from the absence of rant and tear. In tins passage, as in many others, we observed that Mr. Forrest has accustomed himself to a more subdued manner; his wildest outbursts of passion are relieved by constant retreat to a lower tone. Where violence seems to ho necessary it is given with all tho old lire for which tins actor is remarkable, but his method is quieter than it once was. The best thing in the personation, in our opinion, is the play in the scene where “ Lear” first meets “ Edgar” disguised as a fool. Tho old king listens to him and approaches him with eager, childlike curiosity. Hitherto he has communicated oniy with sane men. Here, at last, is one of his own kind, and he not only feels instinctivo syimiathy with him, but he is quieted in his presence by that feeling of wonder, almost of awe, with which very young children regard each other. This situation requires tiue sen sibility and quick intelligence. Mr. Forrest proved that' lie possessed both by the re markable manner in which he managed it. But the personation throughout is magnifi cent, and ample justice demands that it should he accorded a very high place among tho liner characterizations upon the modern stage. It is disfigured less than some others by Mr. For rest’s objectionable peculiarities, by his gasp ings, constant clawing with his fingers, and by liis singular stage walk. These are man nerisms to which custom eannot’rcconcile us. But they are ouiy {laws in most admirable pieces oi'workmanship. Despite these things, it will he folly to deny that Mr. Forrest has •Teat genius, and tlfat he possesses qualities which few act ora of this day have in common ‘ with him. Ho must have , some element of power to hold liis commanding position upon the stage among younger men, who have adapted themselves more completely to tho finer tastes of tho time.
